Rated 1 out of 5 by dissatisfied 5 from Terrible machine We have only had this machine a few months. We had to special ordered it because we needed a machine big enough to wash comforters in. The drawer that the soap goes in does not fit tight. So periodically - every couple of loads - water leaks out of it and runs down the machine and makes a puddle on the floor. We called the repair man who couldn't get it to do it on the one load he ran through the machine while he was here. So he can't fix it under warranty unless he can get it to do it while he's here. We have to put a towel down on the floor under the front of the machine every time we do laundry in case it leaks.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ChicagoWMUser from Disappointed I Purchased This Machine While I was initially excited to include this machine as part of my new appliance package, I quickly soured on the unit and ultimately regret the purchase. Major flaws: 1) when stacked with the dryer, the drain tray becomes unusable since the load and go drawer is on the bottom of the washer and can't open inside the drain tray. 2) the control panel only works intermittently, but given the inconsistency, hard to demonstrate for a warranty repair; 3) the load and go dispenser door failed within 16 months, but with a 12 month warranty, Whirlpool didn't provide any resolution besides recommending their parts store.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy from Defective Suspension I was excited to buy this unit, but in less than six months it started making a very loud banging noise as though the drum was hitting against the inside wall. SIX MONTHS! The repair person said this is KNOWN to be fixed by replacing the suspension. He said the replacement suspension is a better product. Very disappointing Whirlpool would sit back and wait for customers to complain. You could stop selling them until you fix them and recall those for which you have taken good money from customers like me. NOT HAPPY WITH HOW WHIRLPOOL HANDLED VERY POOR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN. Don't even ask how I really feel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by meggieb from Beautiful machine! Washes great We purchased around one month ago. Machine is great however we do miss the delay wash feature that our old machine had on it. Machine washes great however we do have a large family which means large loads and when you fill to capacity, the machine seems to easily get off balance only in sound though. It has not sent any error codes however does squeak with the larger loads. Love the load and go. Love the size of the machine and ease of use. Clothes are super clean after wash and it handles delicates great.

Rated 2 out of 5 by TeacherLibrarian from Problem: weight distribution I bought this appliance to replace an eight year old “duet.” The “duet” from 2011 was already in the townhome we purchased in 2016. That machine was going on its 3rd repair when we opted to replace rather than repair again because a previous repair had proved expensive (a dispenser motor). When I caved to the new machine, I thought it would solve the problem I had with the old one: sheets or a bathroom rug that bunched up and did not spin dry effectively leaving me to wring the items out in a sink. Well, this has already happened with the new machine although I have yet to investigate a fix, such as putting in a towel to balance the load. That this happens with a king size sheet, though, is disheartening. I feel stuck with another round of Whirlpool appliances that honestly I expect a better performance from, not to mention that when I did call for a repair on the Duet, the sanctioned company in my area is Diamond Factory which I have come to distrust...

Rated 3 out of 5 by janiihd from Nice Machine but Very Loud I love the features on this machine but the manual of instructions is VERY confusing concerning the "Load and Go" feature. Also, when the machine is on spin cycle it sounds like someone is hitting a Gong! Weird!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jac99 from Do not buy We bought the matching washer and dryer because our old Maytags. When we got them it took us 8 hours to wash our bed sheets and mattress pad, they never fully rang out the water so we put them on the dryer and had to restart the dryer 6 times and by the end of the day just went to bed with wet sheets. I tried putting the dryer on bulky, timed dry, normal, nothing would dry these. I tried another load with some work out cloths, socks and a towel, this time it rang out in the washer but the dryer got the work out cloths dry but not the socks, and towel, again restarted the dryer multiple times and eventually it all can dry but the fabric became hard. I have tried over and over with different cloths and setting all the same results. Returned these and bought LG

Rated 3 out of 5 by USA-Vet from Acceptable Performance, Reliability TBD Primary determination of the quality of the product will take place over the next 10 years. Long term reliability is the most important feature of any appliance. Door is much too large. The door is oversized for the opening. If the dispenser drawer is open, the washer door will crash into the drawer sometimes resulting in it being thrown out of the machine and falling to the floor. Laundry rooms are undersized spaces and larger doors don't help. The user operation manual is grossly inadequate. We DO NOT need bilingual instructions, English only. For our use, load and go feature serves no purpose.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LaurenS from Error Codes I bought this washer 6 months ago. I get the SD error code every time that I run the machine, I have been through 4 different HD laundry detergents, I have used the load and go as well as manually putting in a very small amount. NOW, the machine doesn't drain the water, so I am pulling sopping wet clothes out to put in the dryer and run 3x in order to dry completely. I use the clean washer or drain and spin function every time when i am done in order to drain out the water. Seriously disappointed for the amount of money we spent.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Thai from Whirlpool Bought last 2 weeks. It is a good washer just a bit disappointed on the trim and fit quality. I think whirlpool try to cut cost. It makes Sansung or LG look much better from the glances
